Really. The Nobel committee has made their awards largely meaningless after the Obama debacle.

Yes, the Obama prize was ludicrous. Back then Obama was revered as a god, not exaggerating. The media and a lot of the elite in Norway has close to never written a single negative word about him ever. During the visit from Obama the entire country was electrified in a bizarre man-worship I have never witnessed before or after.

IMO the 1994 award to Yasser Arafat was when a lot of people really lost their respect for it. No matter what one say; he was a terrorist and leader of an organization that called for genocide and the destruction of another nation. Israel, By many called “The Father of Modern Terrorism”.

lMFAO in the article: A far-right politician, Donald Trump, aka the leader of the free world.

Does the media even try for objectivity anymore?

They are referring to the Norwegian that nominated him. He belongs to the party that has been most critical to uncontrolled immigration and lack of integration.

In Norway you are far-right if you value the Norwegian history, culture and traditional values.

I think the headline is talking about the far-right leader that nominated Trump?

That politician is probably not far right either. Simply being lukewarm right on immigration = far right.

They'll give it to the FAS Nordic wonder for screeching about climate change and then be smug for weeks on how Dronorld Drompthbth is BTFOd by feminism or something.

Obama getting it shows that winning a Nobel peace prize no longer has to do with your Character...

They have literally given it to multiple terrorists before.

I was in Japan when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Japanese news program covered Obama's Peace Prize acceptance speech, and they counted the number of times that he mentioned "war" (10+) and asked skeptically, "How can a Peace Prize winner talk about 'war' so much?" I was shocked at that criticism, but it opened my eyes to how biased our media in this country was.

They would rather blow the place up with some of Nobel's original dynamite, than see President Trump get the award.....

I was reading how BLM is one of the nominee. Also Joe Biden is also a nominee lol

God the Biden team even had to plagiarize a Nobel prize nomination? Pathetic!

Part if me feels that putting him in the same company as Obama is a disgrace

If they want to restore their credibility they'll give it to Trump.

Barack left Syria, Libya, and Ukraine in ruins and he gets a peace prize? Right now it's a sick joke of an award.

From what I remember about how these things work, he would've needed to be nominated last year to receive it this year and I don't think he was

Would be great if the president won just to piss everyone off. If he doesn't, then whatever. Rather have a win in November.

They should just drop the pretense and give it to Kamala Harris for "being a Person of Color running against Donald Trump".

That's what they really want to do - they should just do it.
